We have private tax-advantaged plans that work essentially like that, but they are totally optional. Interestingly the only system that is mandatory is our “Social Security” - you are obligated to pay in but the money is pooled; you get something akin to shares in the system, but it only entitles you to a specific payout after a certain age; your contributions are not privately owned.

Unusually for these types of discussions, it seems like the US system is more socialized than the alternative in your country.

Isn't all Python, by design, unsafe?
That sounds interesting. Do you literally mean that I should use _acme_challenge or were you giving an example?

In concrete terms: to set up an instance for a customer, I've been asking them to set their domain with a CNAME to "gateway.communick.host", where I have traefik already configured with one TLS HTTP resolver and one DNS resolver. and I've been using the HTTP resolver one. Are you saying that I can just configure to use the DNS resolver and it will work, or do I need to tell my customers to add another record for the delegation to work?
- it creates a 3D model of you based on the first second of your body in the video. How the video is recorded does affect how the 3D avatar looks.

- don't have that functionality but its really easy to implement.

- ideally, it works for anything. I will attach some outputs of it climbing outdoor routes. The model doesn't know what a wall means. It just has seen enough data of people climbing that it can somehow correlate certain features in videos to certain human movements.

Is this supposed to be a joke?

Have a look at the linked article to see what meaning of 'unsafe' the author has in mind.
Yup, I think this was happening before but it's been especially bad since SpaceX left YouTube. Now if you search, there is no official channel to put at the top of the search results, only scams.
Try using different IDE’s with different color schemes and other contextual cues if that’s possible and reasonable given your setup and needs. The more you can make separate contexts for each language the more tacit your task switching can be (maybe, seems worth a shot).
What Counts as Consciousness
ctypes, c extensions, and CFFI are unsafe.

Python doesn't have an unsafe keyword like Rustlang.

In Python, you can dereference a null pointer and cause a Segmentation fault given a ctypes import.

You've reached the point where you're trying to make a point by citing Truthout. That's fine, you can take places like that seriously, but I do not, and a list of analyses about how Israelis really want the hostages returned isn't refuting my point. It's fine if we simply disagree here.

Are you sure you don't make this up? Any insurance that I've ever had always let you search if a particular provider is in their network. I just verified on the website of my current insurance. Dozen of anesthesiologists nearby are listed. In fact they often go out of their way to notify you if your doctors leave their network.

> [...] they shared the fate of all European household appliance manufacturers — increasing competition from Asian companies, so by the 1990s, Braun was dead.

Miele and Bosch etc are still going strong. So I'm not sure what you mean by 'European household appliance manufacturers': they have faced the competition from Asian companies and survived.
> Just a minor nit pick, but important: When comparing the costs of renting vs owning, you need to compare rent+fees to mortgage_interest+property_taxes+fees, minus any real estate tax deductions (if you itemize). The principal portion of your mortgage payment is not an expense, it turns into your own home equity so it's money coming out of one pocket and going into the other.

You need to compare both numbers, because that equity doesn't do much to help you make your payments.

In some markets, maybe. In some other markets outside the US, they also use the Oral-B brand.
One other thing to consider: interest rates are almost double what they’ve been for the last decade, and manufacturers were pushing huge luxury trucks and SUVs and other highly-profitable models during the pandemic. I think some of the inventory stacking up across the industry is as simple as having built what sold a couple of years ago rather than what fits the market now.

Note:

Will attach more example outputs and make a detailed document about how the model was built and the research behind it. If this is interesting to you, feel free to sign up to the waitlist on www.climbing.ai (and make sure to sign up for our Discord!)

I originally planned on open sourcing the model, data, weights, and code. Only a few people (me and a couple friends) have access to the hosted model on the web app.

If enough people are on the waitlist, I will consider releasing access. This is very expensive to run so was only considering open sourcing it.

Note: the model works well sometimes, but most of the times it does not. This is an early research preview. Please tamper any expectations. A really good general model requires millions of videos and much more training time so it is really prohibitively expensive. As mentioned before, if someone has the compute, all they have to do is scale the existing dataset and training pipeline (which I will publish open-source in the coming weeks).

The guide to kubectl I never had
Private equity is akin to toxic poison for everyone who isn't one of the (very few) general partners who bask in obscene amounts of scrooge-mcduck money. Think of making a cool $30 million+ a quarter, per partner -- thanks real estate (and apparently, emergency medical services) "investments"! This is a direct funnel to syphon money from the workers to the ruling class. That's even more cash than the top brass at FAAGs make.

How can this phenomenon be reigned in and sorted in the medium to long-term?

It's a loss for everyone (99.9999%) except the miniscule quantity of winners (0.0001%, yes, that's 1 in 1,000,000 - there aren't that many large-scale P/E firms). Housing owned by P/E couldn't be more soul sucking. Scratch that, this applies to every case I'm aware of where P/E firms own a thing.

Anecdote: Last month my dear old dog was suddenly very ill and I spent $12k on emergency surgery to save his sweet life. No regrets, I'm grateful he was fixable. But in the waiting room I did the conservative math for what the SAGE Emergency Veterinary Hospital in Redwood City, CA makes in a year (before the comparatively small overhead, tax-deductible expenses) and they are pulling in at least $30 million in this single location. That's.. a lot, for many 20 total staff. Also they charged me $500 for each follow-up visit, which is way more than my real life surgeon charged me earlier this year! (Even including insurance, he didn't charge much for the follow-ups to make sure I survived.) Damn.

For the dog lovers out there: Doggo is alive and well, can maybe last another year or two we hope.

Btw, who owns SAGE? NVA, a P/E firm.

You put a real smile on my face, I had to get way into color science out of nowhere a few years back, I wanted to take the design system from like 12 sets of hard coded colors to infinity. Ended up building a color space, etc to make it work and design-able. Launched at Google as Material You. But HN always impresses, I lived and breathed it for about 2 years and you got to expert level in like 48 hours,
How do you convert that to a figure estimating how many more people are alive today than would otherwise have been? (I mean, including ones who would not have been born?)
I don’t understand your point.

The court ruled that it has jurisdiction over the case, and that some of the allegations are plausible. How are they not investigating Israel for the crime of Genocide?
I'd say our equivalent might be a staff-level engineer sitting in on a sprint. Maybe less tense. You're being evaluated, but any resulting PIP is practical advice and comes with a fucking rubric.
That it is their game doesn't mean they will always win. Google really liked it when someone wrote an extension that silently clicked all ads. If the game is to have me view and click ads in the OS then surely I'm allowed to "view" and "click" as often as I want? It shouldn't be to hard to create "viewing" and "clicking" patterns that are worthless to advertisers.

Are they going to shut down the computer if the clicking signal is not to their liking?

> Unfortunately, you can get away with cheating this metric for a long time. Years, really. It’s not like you cut quality one month and then the truth comes out the next month. This is a metric that only works when people are scrupulously honest, including with themselves.

I fear this is what's happening at basically every major tech firm in the world right now. We might not fully realize the stupid breakages and tech debt of these decisions (namely: layoffs and large refactors of the product and system to inject AI everywhere) for _quite_ some time. I fear it'll be just like "social first" and "mobile first" iterations of the web that create a bunch of cruft to be cleaned up later.
Apple is in no position to own fab and besides, we’d hear about it many months prior. They aren’t going to be able to keep that secret.

My guess is that they’d use TSMC or perhaps even Intel, for fab. But probably TSMC.
Safety is catching (more) errors ahead of time ...for which Python is grossly unsuitable imo.

Fun lang though, just not one that ever comes to mind when I hear 'safe'.
Another related issue with this has been the rise in the cost of getting a DVM and the associated debt load. The vets who would be at the point in their career where they’d be buying practices from their retiring DVM boss cannot afford to do so (based on anecdata from my brother who was trying to sell his practice last year but his cancer overtook him so he wasn’t able to complete a deal).
I don't know about most of your list, but I do know that Proton Mail has E2EE email encryption via their proprietary client.
I have had a Braun toaster, staff mixer for almost 20 years and they still work flawlessly. Beautiful machines!

The Braun toothbrush is also very reliable. All the Sonicare I had gave up after 1-2 years :( so I stopped buying them. But the Brauns are still going strong, albeit not so fancy as their competitors.
Of course there was, and is.
This is kind of the point: we can’t force everything to change overnight but if polluting becomes more expensive people make different decisions over time. The example I usually use are heat pumps: some people balk at the up-front cost but if burning methane required you to buy offsets that’d change the calculation over a decade.

The problem is that this would have worked better 30-40 years ago when the fossil fuel industry successfully co-opted “conservative” politicians and now we have far less window for gradual change.
What an excellent resource! (And yes Outlook is a pain and supports so very little!)

We've tried building email templates for notifications for our apps where I work, and it has typically been a pain. We have since swapped to using mjml (https://mjml.io/) to build the templates, and it's working wonders. The output seems the be the most compatible with all different devices that we've tested on.

The other tool we enjoy using is Litmus (https://litmus.com), which allows you to throw in an email template and see what it looks like on all kinds of apps and devices. Other thread here mentions https://testi.at/ as well, which we've also had success with.

All of these have been really invaluable to designing emails for our apps.

The only 24/7 emergency vet in our area was owned by private equity, who closed it after a unionization vote. They then tried to enforce non-competes on staff to prevent a replacement. https://news.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=210&Id=11633319&f5=1

Thankfully, a local legislator pressured them to release staff from the non-competes, and a non-profit emergency vet has since opened up with some seed funding. https://www.rochesterfirst.com/news/animals/bello-and-morell...
> But at this point, it's pretty clear that most non-technical people prefer emails with fancy text and graphics.

And what percentage of e-mails from people / human beings have those things?

Certainly marketing e-mails have fancy formats, but I've rarely seen any person at a companies I've worked at use any kind of formatting: generally most folks hit reply and start typing with whatever the default is. Hardly any italics or bold, and forget about fixed width (for things like CLI commands in technical discussions).

Heck, even Slack messages these styles are hardly used (on my current team I use them the most since I know that Markdown so it's easy for me to throw in some **, //, or `` in my typing flow, so I can highlight hostnames, CLI commands, etc).

That's one definition of safety. But it's not the one the author uses in this case.

The generic snide about Python that has nothing to do with the article ain't all that informative.

You could make the same remark you just made about all Python being unsafe about Rust: 'Isn't all Rust, by design, unsafe?'. And compared to eg Agda or Idris that would be true, but it wouldn't be a very useful nor interesting comment when talking about specifically 'unsafe' Rust vs normal Rust.
Seems to me if you could do most of the work in Python and then just make the critical loop unsafe and 100x faster then that would certainly have some appeal.
It might be interesting to see how much expansion could be obtained with Rust. The diagnostics can be verbose, and perhaps there's some kind of self-reference that could produce a similar blowup, though I'm not familiar enough with the corners to say.
PCA for starting out
Mine here in NH got sucked up into one about 2 years ago and I'm easily paying double now. It was 2200 bucks to get my dog's teeth cleaned last year, 3 months before she died. In the same vein we have stopped going to McDonalds for, the family is kind of reorienting itself around not being a dog family. We just cope and joke that we outlived peak times. We can still get sushi though. There's still a long way to fall.
> Why would anyone use unsafe Python when Python doesn't have other features such as type safety and all the debugging tools that have been built for C and C++ over time is beyond me.

C and C++ 'type safety' is barely there (compared to more sane languages like OCaml or Rust or even Java etc). As to why would anyone do that? The question is 'why not?' It's fun.
I don’t really think vets are fretting. It cannot cost that much to start a vet clinic, and if they’re such a great profit source that PE firms are snapping them up, surely some other banker of some sort would be happy to give loans to enterprising ones.

The real issue is lack of supply. Which is good for vets, so I’m sure they’re not fretting too much about that.

They are not.

MIME headers are helpful for telling MUAs what the content (type and/or disposition) of a message is, but there's nothing from stoping mail clients from just putting "raw" HTML in the body of an e-mail message without MIME.
Agreed and you can use debt very safely if your net position is in credit. For one example I'm always amazed at how many people don't take advantage of the interest free period of credit cards. As long as you have enough savings put aside to cover the CC balance in full each month you're significantly better off doing all your spending on a credit card instead of a debit card.

Memory corruption vs type safety.

"Safety" is an overloaded term, but that happens a lot in software. You'll probably get best results if you try to understand what people are talking about, rather than just assuming everyone else is an idiot.
If you like history you should check out 19th Century Swiss historian Jacob Burckhardt's collection of essays Force and Freedom - I read it every 2 years or so. It's great summary of the different sources of power in society and how they interact during different periods. Highly recommended.

"In Force and Freedom, Burckhardt reduced the main elements of history to the state, religion, and culture, discussing the hypothetical and actual supremacy of each over the other two. “Culture” comes out best, religion worst in his value system, but the state has its dangers too..."

PCA performs horribly on non-linear data.
there are a lot of hard security problems that become easy if you can introduce an incorruptible 'trusted third party'. often the computations involved are pretty trivial and involve tiny amounts of data

want to find out which of your friends have secret crushes on you? you all tell trent, and then he tells you which of your crushes also have crushes on you, and also tells them

want digital money without double-spending, privacy invasion, or money supply inflation? just let trent keep track of what everyone's balance is. to pay someone, tell trent how much you want to pay them, and he'll decrease your balance and increase theirs. trent promises not to increase anyone's balance without decreasing somebody else's by the same amount

want to buy a good at the welfare-maximizing price? use a second-price auction: everyone privately tells trent their bid, and trent announces the winner (the person who bid the highest) and the price (the highest losing bid). that way bidding lower never gets someone the same good at a lower price; it just decreases their chance of winning

want to play poker with some people you don't trust? trent mentally shuffles the deck and tell you what cards he's dealt you (and what other cards are visible, in some variants). at the end of the round, he announces what cards were in every hand that didn't fold, and who won

there are an infinite number of problems like this

the trouble with trent is that any human 'trent' is corruptible, and trusting them with secrets gives them more power, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. the humans faff around with checks and balances and institutions and oaths and whatnot but they're pretty fragile. cryptographers have often designed clever protocols which solve individual problems from this infinite set, and some of them are secure

fhe makes it possible to construct an incorruptible 'trent': everybody can see the program, everybody can verify the operation of the program step by step, but nobody can see the data. it's almost a fully general cryptographic protocol design primitive
